For the most part, I'm neutral on the idea of clans. As a social space, I don't think clans are necessary - they don't really do anything you can't already do in a chatter topic. And I definitely wouldn't want activity requirements and clan fees; that just sounds like a hassle to keep up with. But clan boss fights (maybe also clan dungeons?) would get me excited and wanting to join. Edit: In light of @Keycatt's thoughts in the post below mine: If there are clan boss fights/dungeons, I think it should be possible/allowed to have a one-person clan and do all the stuff yourself, if you'd like. It would take longer, but solo play would still be possible. |

A few people have suggested some kind of daily boss fight or clan hunt. I don't think this is a good idea. I don't want the game to give out special, new items or opportunities to gain resources/stats just for players in clans. It would disadvantage players who don't want to join clans, and encourage people to join as many clans as possible, even if they don't feel any social connection to it. Even if you were only allowed to participate in one clans "boss hunt/fight" a day, it would still indirectly punish players who want to go it alone. A good comparison would if there was a chance to get a random amount of SB for posting on the forum. The forum is not supposed to be a direct game mechanic, it's just social. Same thing with clans. I would prefer if boss fights/hunts weren't implemented, but, if a lot of people wanted this feature, I'll suggest a compromise. Make clan boss fights something a clan had to pay for. For example, it would be, say 2000 SB to start a clan-wide hunt, where food or other resources could be found by working together with your clan members. Preferably, this cost would be fairly high and scale with number of clan members. This way, the game isn't giving "free" resources to clans, but people still have the option to hunt and fight together with their clan. |

Be nice to have some game mechanics implemented somehow. Like maybe events where clans have to come together to take down a giant beast or something. But would that mean clans then have to be player capped? Hmm. There's a lot of possibilities. Here's my one idea that would tickle my creative bone: Clan leaders are able to draw or commission a custom item that all clan members are able to obtain when joining the clan and can be placed on their lead wolf if they want to show off their clan pride! This item is only available for clan members to purchase, and is perhaps discounted the 5 gold that the site takes so everyone has the opportunity to use it. I think that would be rad! |

Although, I have to add that I am a solitary player. There is a chance that regardless of what features are included, it may not be enough to warrant paying a fee, for me and any others like myself. Especially if there were mandatory participation as well. I never joined a clan in Lioden, since I didn't like how they were at all on there. |

definition of tribes: -"a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader." (this word does not originate or is exclusive to minorities, it comes from rome politics i think?) [i also like alliances, and can see why some people might not like the term tribe be used here, i just thought it fit particularly well] |

My only suggestions currently are for the naming, and my opinion is they should be called a Guild, League, Union, or even Alliance sounds alright. |
